Tins and tlie following s|)ecies are very closely allied. 

 The form of tlie pygidiuni is quite distinctive, but only the 

 apical portion is really noticeable, the basal triangular lateral 

 dilatations being quite hidden in one specimen and only just 

 discernible in the other. One specimen is macropterous, the 

 other brachypterous.
